For years, Vietnam has been part of the global tech supply chain.

The next question is more ambitious: can Vietnamese companies build #AI products and capabilities that compete globally?

Dr. Phong Nguyen, CTO of #FPT Corporation, will speak to this shift at #GStar Summit 2026.

As foundation models, compute, and large-scale data concentrate in a few global tech hubs, emerging markets face a strategic question: how to adopt AI without becoming overly dependent on systems they do not govern.

At #GStarSummit, Jean DeSombre will bring a policy and governance lens to this challenge.

Curious to hear from the #AI, #policy, and #investment community: what should emerging markets prioritize first to build long-term AI agency?

LLMs are changing the misinformation threat model: false claims can now be paraphrased, contextualized, and scaled with few surface-level signals.

At GStar Summit 2026, Prof. @preslav_nakov will discuss AI safety, fact-checking, propaganda, media bias detection, and the trust layer of AI.

‼️ LLM asks smaller model for help: 80% cheaper, better accuracy

Inspired by @NVIDIAAI 's "Small Language Models are the Future of Agentic AI", I built a framework where an LLM can ask a specialized Small Language Model (SLM) for assistance on 'easy' tasks. This is because SLMs can sufficiently perform such tasks, while costing much less than an LLM.

For simplicity + speed, I tested on math reasoning tasks (GSM8K, 500 Qs).

Results vs. LLM (alone)
• ✅ 80% fewer tokens
• ✅ 1.8% accuracy improvement
• ❌ 140% slower

☄️ Next Steps:
• Expand Routing: Route tasks based on SLM performance strengths.
• Optimize Latency: Improve SLM inference speed
• Expand Domains: Extend evaluation to more 'agentic' tasks (e.g. Deep Search)

I'd really appreciate feedback + ideas!

Just had a really fun and insightful lecture with Professor Christopher Manning, one of the co-inventors of the GloVe word vectors!!

His life advice: “Jump into promising new things early (with both feet)”

He also commented on Yann LeCun’s “the future of AI is not LLMs”, saying that such statement greatly underestimates language and how much it represents intelligence

We talked about his research journey and interests, promising research areas, as well as communication w/ aliens 👽

He also talked about how important it is for researchers to have a deep technical expertise and understand, and recommends aspiring researchers to implement paper to build that understand

It was a great lecture @newturing, and thank you so much to Dr. @lmthang and the team for having invited Professor Manning!!

Congrats @furst_fly! Special thanks to @chiennv2000 and @longphan3110 for designing this Flash Attention assignment. Check it out at https://t.co/LA5qhD63i4!

[Dhruv Agarwal @furst_fly]

It felt like yesterday I was a 17yo at MIT Manipal who thought AI was more magic than math.

Today, I shipped a first-of-its-kind backprop implementation that combines FlashAttention + GQA + SWA + Attention Sinks for GPT‑OSS : fully open source.

Benchmarks: ~33× faster fine-tuning and ~138× more memory‑efficient vs naïve PyTorch, on the same hardware. Visuals attached.

HuggingFace has FlashAttention support, but nothing close to this training efficiency/practicality existed…until now.

Want to try it?

run a finetune and tell me what breaks.

Huge thanks to @lmthang, @longphan3110 for putting this problem on my radar, And big shoutout to the @newturing 's GStar team including @JeffDean , @YiTayML and everyone who helped along the way.

#GStar bootcamp, a global talent program by NTI, is happening now! Deadline to apply: August 12, 2025. Checkout details in https://t.co/sp8mCMAHnZ.
Program director: @lmthang, our overall technical lead: @YiTayML and senior advisors: @JeffDean, @chrmanning , @preslav_nakov.
Together with many great lecturers such as @gneubig, @PoShenLoh, @tuvllms, @HoangDuon, @longphan3110 and more coming soon!

[Jeff Dean @JeffDean]

I too really enjoyed the talk at the GenAI summit by @PoShenLoh. He has a really innovative way of getting high school kids to teach other kids math in an engaging manner ("Twitch live stream for math problems") while giving teachers immediate feedback.

Had a great weekend being part of the GenAI summit in Vietnam. 😄

Really enjoyed the impressive talks by @jeffdean, @quocleix
@lmthang and @Diyi_Yang, along with the nice panel discussion that we had. 😄

Meanwhile, one major unexpected highlight of this trip for me personally was meeting @PoShenLoh and watching his talk on math, education, game theory and changing the world. This man is built different and cracked. Really such a breath of fresh air admist all the AI hype. 😄

The production quality of the summit was super serious and high quality 👌. The energy of the local crowd really makes me feel that Vietnam is really serious about AI. 🫡

This is my first time in Vietnam and it was amazing to be hosted by @lmthang. On the second day we visited some universities and left me a strong impression about the culture there. People there seem hungry for learning and science/math and that is amazing.

Enjoyed the trip and the great hospitality and thoughtfulness by the hosts and organizers. 👍

Nit: Vietnam needs more ACs though🥵🥵🥵

[Jeff Dean @JeffDean]

I'm excited to speak at the GenAI summit in Vietnam (and to visit Vietnam for the first time). Thanks to @lmthang and the other organizers for putting together a very interesting set of speakers including @quocleix , @Diyi_Yang , @YiTayML and others!
